Why do people think Zai will be good when he comes back?
Not played in ages, his offlane was average

It's TF2 if Valve cared about that product at all.
dumbass post. that being said, kaplan has partial a point -- if you were in closed beta when genji, mei, and dva were released, there was definitely mass outcry for these heroes to be massively nerfed/removed.
Its TF2 if they made the huntsman a character(hanzo), sandman a character(mcree), etc. etc. Also how many more years do you want them to 'care' about it? It'll be 10 years old next october.
CHANGE!? NO NOT CHANGE! WHAT IS THIS -ADAPT- YOU SPEAK OF!????!?!2124343??
Let them fucking cry, I don't get it, Blizzard already have their fucking money(and their lives for some of them)and you're gonna let them propose balance changes on something that's new? I don't even know why people are taking the game so crazy seriously in a wacky team shooter, TF2 was never like this. Had a dude start screaming his lungs off at us cause no one picked Lucio(on PS4 there's zero mics so this guy was a ultra rare bird that you wanted extinct asap).

You know Zai, the guy that hasn't played for a significant amount of time, why are people betting on him to be good enough to play at the highest level as he hasn't been around for quite some time.
And when he played offlane, he was average, you know, no where near top tier play, I could think of at 8 better off laners id have

But he has been playing? He streams semi regularly.
And when he played offlane he was on teams that were having much larger issues. His play has always been very good.
You're right the huge upcoming update (not to mention the multiple big updates in the past year) shows how little Valve gives a fuck.
Wait what?
I believe it's a matter of perception and lasting impression of his last performance. The last time we saw him play competitively was in TI5 and in the last couple of matches, especially the last one where Secret lost to VP, he was the best player in the team by far.
However, apart from those 3 or 4 matches, his overall performance tended to be average to high, a 7/10 if you will, although I know some managers and team leaders that prefer consistent 7's to guys that fluctuate between 5's and 10's.

I'd rather have Zai on support than offlane if only because I think his strengths lend themselves more to that in these metas.
Just seems premature to write off one of the best players in dota 2 ever because he had some lack luster performances during a time where he clearly wasn't as driven and he was on a messy team.

Sick semi regular pub player gonna smash it init
You've been puffing on magical crushed beans
I wasn't writing him off. The kid got talent, there's no denying that. He's just not the second coming or a savior of any kind.

Was speaking generally, not to you specifically. We can agree.
yes, please do think about 99% of the playerbase
THAT SAID i think the playerbase can deal with new heroes

I thought about doing an AirBnB for TI, but couldn't find a place close enough or cheap enough
Couldn't get the hotel I've stayed at the past two years so now I'm over a mile away from Key Arena lol
I mentioned this before, but:
Just Uber it, especially if you're staying with friends. I did an AirBnB last year in Capitol Hill (i.e. not anywhere close the arena), but just took an Uber every day to the arena. Cost me about $6 and when split 3 ways was about the same as taking the bus would have cost.

Can someone explain this to me? I largely ignored Uber since I have a car but I'm probably moving soon and not taking my car, would nice to be up to date on such things.
Short version: they treat their drivers poorly and have used some underhanded shit to poach them from competitors.

Ah, pretty standard fare, then. I wasn't sure if it was something more extensive or just general capitalistic unsavouriness.
Yeah they're just more open about it than most companies. Kinda like Papa John's in that regard. Of course 100% ethical consumption of goods and/or services in a capitalistic society is impossible, but when a CEO basically brags about being a walking shitbag, that's usually when I check out.

You know there is a problem with OverWatch microtransactions vs grinding when the rant thread is 50 page long and the same people are arguing over and over for days, and now making bets of the timeline of additional content.
I am glad, with Dota2, we actually can buy ultra-rare stuff from the market (with a 3 month delay) instead of arguing over the number of loot boxes needed to get some ultra-rare doge courier, calculating hypothetical odds based on small sample sizes, etc.

Sounds reasonable to me.
I mean what does the dota community even want?
Dont devalue our items valve
Valve so greedy I cant even get the new super rare item in the first chest I buy

FTR idgaf about the value of my items deteriorating. I want better clothes for my play-pretend toys
Valve so greedy I cant even get the new super rare item in the first chest I buy
The point is: why should it be a random chance? If you're selling it let us buy it and don't force feed us some percentage based bullshit game that only serves to tickle the our gambling neurons in order to squeeze more money from us. It's a carrot on a stick system.
This is as true for Valve as it is for Blizzard, EA, etc.

Why not both? Any economy should have low value items that make up the vast majority that everyone can have and enjoy... and high value rare items that many want but few will ever possess. And of course lots of items in the middle that span the spectrum of prices. It kept the TF2 and CSGo economies vibrant.I mean what does the dota community even want?

I still don't know what happened with Dota2's Econ.
Isnt that the case though? There are plenty of trash items, some really expensive ones and items inbetween.

People called Romanes they go the house?
So I heard RTZ blew it while I was at work, but what happened in the EG games? PPD's drafts suck?
